I don’t think that there has ever been a period in my life where I have liked my eyebrows up until recently that is. When I was a kid, they were enormous. Even in my early teenage years, my mum would wrestle me down and pluck away. Plus, because I am a child of the nineties, when I was growing up, the thin brow was the main trend. So, for some time, I did pluck them, pretty thin. Then people like Cara Delavigne came onto the scene and all of a sudden big brow made a revival. Over the years, my eyebrows have been on quite a journey. Over the years I have switched them around so much and put them through hell. Now, they are at a place where I am happy with them. I thought I would share with you how I got fuller brows.
Stopped plucking.
I think the first thing that really must be done if you want to grow them out is to stop plucking. I used to think that I was just tidying them up where it was needed. But I very quickly can get a little too close and too carried away. Now, I have put the tweezers in a locked box and I don’t go near them unless it is absolutely necessary. That means that my brows may look a little unruly at times, but at least they aren’t going to end up like tadpoles again!
Used Revitabrow.
I really didn’t want to look at this to begin with because I was so expensive. I didn’t understand what a product like this could do to help the brows on my face. However, after picking I up and using I just for a couple of weeks, I noticed a massive difference. Everywhere that I applied this, I got new hair growth pretty quickly. Because the hairs at the tail of my brow are sparse, I primarily used this there and it made a huge difference. It is hella expensive and I didn’t want to love it, but I do!
Used good quality brow products.
For many years, I have used cheap and cheerful eyebrow products. To me, I thought that they were all made equal. When I would use eyebrow pencils for example, I couldn’t tell a difference between my £4 one from NYX and the £26 Dior Brow Styler. However, after exclusively using my higher value items for some time, I have recognised a massive difference. My brows since making this switch do seem to grow better and I also don’t seem to lose them as frequently. Which I know may sound strange!
Position the hairs meticulously.
Even when my eyebrows were too thin for my liking, I would lay them down like a fine art. I would use with my Refy Brow Sculpt or the Anastasia Brow Gel and take my time brushing the hairs upwards and get them looking perfect. I really had to do this towards the tail of my brows where they do taper and look pretty thin. Just by laying down the hairs that I do already have, I can mimic the look like I have the perfect supermodel brows where they grow effortlessly and perfectly. It does take hell of a lot of time though!
Went to a professional.
Next on getting fuller brows is going somwhere where they know what they are doing. I don’t know where I would be or what I would look like without my brow lady. As I mentioned, stopping plucking really helped thicken them. However, I am a pretty hairy person naturally and my brows quickly got out of control. They grow like wildfire. Now, every 8 weeks I get my eyebrows tidied up. Sometimes I get them waxed to remove the stragglers that grow everywhere and sometimes she just plucks. I may even get lamination every now and again for something new. However, they have to be seriously trimmed if they are going to be laid upwards.
